  • As the hub of the transit system, Downtown Minneapolis is very well served by both bus and rail
  • Employers can enroll in these programs for free
  • When combined with a pre-tax payroll deduction, discount transit pass programs reduce employer payroll tax obligations
  • Discount transit passes are becoming a standard benefit for employers located downtown
  • Employers that subsidize transit pass programs qualify for a 30% Minnesota state tax credit on those dollars
  • Employees who sign up can save over $600 a year in transit costs
  • Higher transit use reduces traffic congestion, which promotes a healthier environment, regional economy and work-life balance for commuters.
